First all of your posts here will be moderated (they will be held and checked before they are allowed to show). This is done with every new TER member. After you have been around a while and have posted without any infractions of the guidelines you can contact TER admin and request to be unmoderated. The link to the Message Board Posting guidelines is next to the Self-Help Center link. (more about that below)

Now to your questions:

Everyone when they join TER is a basic member. There is no "Provider" membership, provider page, etc. (Even though you may have clicked register as a provider when you signed up [joined].) The way to let others know you are a provider is to post ads on your TER regional ad boards, post comments on your regional discussion board (Don’t make these posts about you like an ad. They will be disallowed. Make them pertinent to the subject.) and participate on the Photo Only board. Check out the Self-Help Center for the guidelines for posting ads and how to post photos on the photo only board. The Self-Help Center link is on the upper right of most of the discussion boards under the red and white life preserver. It’s also at the bottom of the list of Quick Links on the left of the My TER page. See the My TER tab at the top of this page. Read everything there even the stuff for the guys. It's good to know all you can.  
 
You can pay for a VIP membership. It will give you full access to all TER has to offer but it won't distinguish you from any other member. The things I mentioned above and the link spoken about in the next paragraph will do that.  
   
Once a guy has seen you, written a review of you, submitted it to TER, it's been approved, and posted you will have a provider profile page. Your first reviewer will create your profile when he fills out your information. You will then have a TER provider ID number. (You can contact TER and correct anything the guy got wrong on your profile or didn’t know.) Next step for you then is to contact TER and request they connect your newly created profile with your TER handle/user name (DestinyyNOGAMEs). Contact them using the e-mail you signed up with. Their address is [email protected]. This will give you the free limited provider VIP membership. It will also give you access to the TER PM (private mail) system and allow you to read your reviews in there entirety. It will also place a link which says "See my TER reviews" under your handle whenever you post on a TER board. Guys can click the link and be taken to your profile page and check you out. The provider VIP will also give you access to the provider functions on TER such as being able to white list clients.  There is a Provider's only discussion board. You have to have 3 reviews and establish yourself on the boards then request that TER give you access to it.

Welcome to TER and good luck.

Definitely, read the self help center.  In it, among many other things, you will find the guidelines for posting ads on this site.  Start responding to threads on your local regional board.  This will do 2 things, get your name out there w/o posting an ad, and give guys in your area a feel for your personality.  You can also post a picture on the daily picture board every day which will let guys know what you look like on a daily basis.

Good luck,
